DOWSIL™ 11-100 Additive contains alkoxy and alkyl functional groups on siloxane to improve LOI value for low smoke halogen free wire & cable material and improve dispersion of inorganic fillers, such as ATH/MDH etc. into organic polymers such as resin, plastic, and rubber. It also will transform hydrophilic inorganic powders, fillers, or substrates to that of hydrophobic. The alkoxy groups react similarly to that of silane coupling agents, forming a stable bond with the mineral filler or surface. The alkyl functionality acts as both compatilizer with organic polymer matrices, as well as hydrophobe to reduce water absorption. This material is also low viscosity and can be applied easily.

APPLICATIONS

• Low smoke halogen free wire & cable material

• Improve LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) value

• Improve filler dispersion in polymer matrix

• Inorganic fillers surface treatment

• Improve de-agglomeration

• Impart hydrophobicity
